[sdiy] DIY strobe tuner?

[David Moylan]

A synchronous motor is an AC motor that turns in sync with the driving 
frequency (often line frequency, 60Hz) as opposed to a motor like an 
induction motor where there's slip between the driving frequency and the 
turning frequency.  There are probably other examples of asynchronous 
motors but induction is the one that comes to mind.  It's been a decade 
since I studied motors but I think that's a reasonable explanation.
